Amid clouds of steam and smoke the engine makes the steep climb from Keighley, with the noise of its pistons echoing off the valley sides. Filmmakers are attracted to the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway like moths to its gas mantles; such is the attention to detail. And there's no better way to visit Brontë Country and the Haworth home where the Brontës wrote most of their stories.

Keighley
Just a mile or so from the town centre you'll find East Riddlesden Hall (National Trust) with its splendid ceilings, Yorkshire oak furniture, delightful gardens and outbuildings. Keighley Bus Museum is just a 15-minute walk from the town centre.

Ingrow (West)
The award-winning Museum of Rail Travel depicts rail travel through the ages. You can stand on the footplate of a steam locomotive or sit in the luxury of Victorian and Edwardian carriages.

Damems
Is Britain's smallest 'full-size' station with a platform just one carriage in length.

Oakworth
Is where many scenes in the 1970 classic 'The Railway Children' were filmed. Look out for the cottage beside the level crossing - the home of Albert Perks the porter.

Haworth
Just a short walk up the cobbled lane from the station is the village of Haworth. The house where Charlotte, Emily and Anne grew up and wrote most of their famous novels is now owned and maintained by the Brontë Society. The Brontë Parsonage Museum has 'The Life of Charlotte Brontë' exhibition, new for 2007.

Oxenhope
Oxenhope is the terminus of the railway with a buffet, shop and picnic area to enjoy. You can also visit the Oxenhope Exhibition Shed.
